A#           F
We were young out on the scene
A#          F
Life so loud and so much fun

Am       G       Dm
And the party boys in their pretty clothes
Am           G           Dm
Everybody's got it going on
Am           G           Dm
Everybody's got it going on

On the way home, just to score one
In the daytime, in the downtown
And the lights are shining
And the girls are dancing
All the lights are sparkling
And the drugs are working

Am     G        Dm
This city will kill you
This city will kill you

Everybody's praying that it rains (That it rains)
It's been promised now for days
But the sun is high in the sky again

    Gm                      Esus4
You go out at night and you nurse your pain

Am                 G
You got to get out, you got to get out
Dm
You got to run (Got to quit this town)
You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run (Got to quit this town tonight)
'Cause this city will kill you

A#
You've got to wake up
F
Figure things out
Gm
You're getting too old
         Esus4                           Am G Dm
They'll walk over your bones when you're cold
            Am
When you're cold
      G         Dm
This city will kill you

A#
Why was I (Why was I)
F
The one to survive? (The one to survive?)
Gm
The one who (The one who)
Esus4
Didn't succumb, who didn't succumb

Gotta quit this town
You gotta quit this town tonight

You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run, gotta quit this town
You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run, gotta quit this town tonight
This city will kill you
You gotta quit this town
Got to get out
You got to quit this town tonight
Got to get out, got to get out, got to get out
Got to get out, got to get out
